Gaja Ca'Marcanda Promis (750ml)

Promis opens with floral aromas of wild rose and violet, then it turns into a more earthy bouquet with hints of maritime pine, eucalyptus and wet stone. The palate is fresh and juicy, with notes of red and black fruits - raspberry, wild strawberry and mulberry - alongside creamy, smooth tannins. The final is sapid with a smoky and spicy character. With its notes of rosemary, wild fennel and embers Promis perfectly mirrors the Mediterranean scrubland which surrounds it. This wine derives from vine varieties that recall the French tradition and the historical incursions that characterized the territory called “Maremma” ; 55% Merlot, 35% Syrah and 10% Sangiovese. Different vineyards located between Bolgheri and Bibbiona are planted on dark soils rich of loam and clay. The wine making process requires that the grapes are managed separately, with a period of fermentation and maceration that lasts approximately 15 days. After 12 months aging in wooden barrels the three varieties are assembled and pass some months in the bottle. It doesn’t matter if they come from Piedmont or Tuscany, the products of Gaja are all excellent. This excellent wine is easy to drink but, on the other hand, it has a great aromatic complexity. These two elements contribute to the creation of a unique label.
